Mammoth Cave
We are getting very excited about our upcoming trip to Mammoth Cave.  Here are just a few things to remember:
·        Students MUST to wear tennis shoes.
·        The temperature in the cave is around 60 degrees.  Jackets or sweatshirts may be a good idea. 
·        Students may bring cameras into the cave, but not camera cases.
·        Students are allowed to bring electronic devices for the bus ride, but please remember the bus does not lock. 
·        We will visit the gift shop if students want to bring a little money.

Subject Areas

Reading: AR goals have been set!  There is only six weeks to meet this goal.  Start reading early!  It would be amazing if all students met their goal to end the year.  
Science:  Science Mobile will be here on Monday and Wednesday.  This is a fun day filled with hands on experiments. 
 Math: Students are working hard on answering multiple choice questions in a timely fashion.  Many students are making progress and using time wisely while others are still not finishing within the time limit.  Blank answers are scored as incorrect answers.  Our math vocabulary test will be next Thursday, March 29th.  Students should be studying those words and definitions.  Math homework looked much better this week.  Many students showed improvement.  Thank you for working with your child!
